Woodville Palace Shimla ( A Heritage property since 1938 )

Immersed in regal colonial history, Woodville Palace Shimla is an iconic heritage hotel that originally served as the summer residence of the Maharaja of Jubbal. Spread across four acres of dense deodar and pine groves, it displays genuine 1930s Art Deco architecture, vintage royal portraits, and old-world British style. The palace includes the famed Hollywood Bar (housing signed photos of golden-era film stars), sprawling imperial gardens, and an authentic royal dining hall.
